Stirring feta into the hummus adds a tangy, saltiness to the dish plus gives it an extra creamy texture. Bulgarian feta in the brine is preferable, if you can find it, as it has a slightly stronger flavor and remains creamy and crumbly in the salted water.

SERVES 5

15 oz canned chickpeas

2 tbsp Lemon Juice

1 cloves Garlic Clove

1/2 tsp Spices - Smoked Paprika

2 tbsp Tahini

1 cup Feta Cheese
